Hou Yingying stood in the crowd and introduced herself in a clear voice: "My name is Gao Ying!"

Then, she bowed slightly to Hua Changjue and said, "Greetings, Lord Hua."

At this moment, several people gathered around, including the original servants from Huafu and servants found after arriving in Beipingfu.

There was curiosity on people's faces.

After hearing this, Hua Changjue showed a satisfied look on his face, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, smiling and responding: "Oh, so you are Mr. Gao's daughter! Hello, Miss Gao!"

Hearing this, Hua Lingjian was stunned.

He wondered in his heart, could it be that Mr. Gao Yuanlin that his father was talking about? Thinking of this, a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes.

Hua Changjue continued to say to Hou Yingying: "After Ru'er's wedding in a few days, I will visit the Gao Mansion and ask your father for marriage!"

When Hou Yingying heard this, her cheeks instantly blushed and she nodded shyly to show her agreement.

Afterwards, the two talked for a while. Although Hou Yingying's face turned slightly red, her words and behavior were very decent. She was neither shy nor too bold and ostentatious.

Hua Changjue liked his future daughter-in-law very much and his joy was beyond words.

Hua Lingxuan and others standing behind them cast teasing glances at Hua Lingjian.

Hua Lingxuan smiled and said first: "Congratulations, third brother! Lovers finally get married."

Then, Hua Lingnan and others echoed in unison: "Congratulations, Third Brother!"

Faced with everyone's teasing, Hua Lingjian felt a little embarrassed, but his heart was still filled with joy.

"Thank you, brother!"

"Thank you, Fifth Brother, Sixth Brother, and Eighth Brother!"

After Hua Changjue and Hou Yingying had finished talking, Hua Changjue spoke to Hua Lingjian beside him.

"Jian'er, please send Miss Gao to the Gao Mansion for resettlement."

"When you have time, you can spend more time with Miss Gao. Take Miss Gao around."

Hua Lingjian happily agreed.

Since their relationship had been approved by their families, Hua Lingjian was no longer restrained and directly took Hou Yingying's hand.

"Yes, father! I will escort Miss Gao back right now!"

"By the way, I'll go get something from my uncle!"

Hua Changjue smiled and nodded. "That's great. Say hello to Mr. Song on behalf of your father!"

Hua Lingjian was now certain that Hua Changjue was talking about Gao Yuanlin's house. It seemed that his father had already made arrangements with Gao Yuanlin!

Let Hou Yingying pretend to be a lady from the Gao family, and then she can marry him legally.

Hua Lingjian was very moved when he thought that Hua Changjue had made such a careful arrangement for him.

Before leaving, he looked at Hua Changjue and said seriously.

"Thank you, father!"

Hua Changjue patted his shoulder and said, "Go! Don't miss it again this time!"

"You have to fight for your own happiness."

Hua Lingjian nodded, and resolutely pulled Hou Yingying toward the door.

He won't let go this time!

The two figures quickly disappeared.

After the two of them left, Hua Lingxuan frowned and said to Hua Changjue in a low voice, "Father, General Zhou is still in the city. Aren't you afraid that he will recognize Miss... Gao?"

Hua Changjue curled his lips and narrowed his eyes.

"Don't worry, he probably won't be able to get out of bed for ten days or half a month."

Hua Lingxuan was stunned, not knowing what was going on.

On the other side, General Zhou in the post station was lying on the bed powerless with many red rashes on his body.

I have been to several doctors, and they all said it was caused by acclimatization and allergies. I need to take good care of my body.

But after several days, there was no improvement.

The servants and attendants at the post station were all somewhat horrified and gossiping privately, wondering if General Zhou had contracted some infectious disease.

"General Zhou looked like he was suffering from acclimatization problems! Why don't I believe it?"

"Yeah, I don't believe it either."

"Actually, I asked the doctor secretly."

"The doctor was a little hesitant. I think there's something fishy going on here. I think they're just trying to fool us."

"Yes, I have seen cases of acclimatization before, but it was never this serious!"

"But it's like smallpox!"

"No, it's like a plague!"

"You are all wrong."

"If General Zhou is infected with smallpox or plague, no one in our post station will be able to escape."

"So what disease do you think he has?"

"Anyway, I've never heard of a rash caused by acclimatization."

Several people at the post station were talking quietly, and occasionally looked towards General Zhou's room upstairs.

"Could it be... syphilis?"

Everyone...

"Don't tell me, it really looks like one."

"So the disease can't be cured, but it won't be transmitted to us either."

“I think we got the truth.”

"No wonder the doctors all looked so weird."

"It turns out to be a heart disease..."

People looked towards General Zhou's room with contempt unconsciously in their eyes.

Qiumu has been feeling a little weak these past two days, and walks unsteadily.

But he was a servant who took care of General Zhou personally, so he couldn't be lazy. He could only work hard and serve General Zhou without complaint.

In the room, General Zhou asked, trying to hold on. "Has there been any reply from Bianjing City?"

Qiao Mu shook his head.

“I haven’t received a reply yet.”

General Zhou frowned and looked very unhappy.

He wanted to get up and go for a walk, but he had no strength in his body and it was difficult for him to even lift his arms.

He couldn't help but curse through gritted teeth.

"Fuck him!"

"I haven't been sick for many years."

"I didn't expect that I would not be able to adapt to the local climate in this poor place."

He cursed, but he had no energy at all. His face was pale, with red spots all over it, and some of the rashes had pus on them. He looked a bit disgusting, as if he had the plague.

Qiao Mu didn't want to look at his face.

General Zhou's illness was not serious at first. He just felt a little weak and had a few red bumps.

But because he was worried and had too many things to do, he often couldn't sleep at night. As a result, his condition became worse and worse, and the medicine didn't help.

To be honest, Qiao Mu felt a little disgusted when he saw General Zhou like this, but he thought that he had to rely on General Zhou for his food and livelihood.

If anything happened to General Zhou, he would definitely not be in a good situation, so he comforted him in a gentle voice.

"General, don't be angry!"

"The doctor also said that it's not a serious illness."

"General, please take your medicine and rest well. You will be well soon."

General Zhou was extremely anxious.

"If this general is fine now, then just be sick. Just take it as a rest!"

"But can it be the same now?"

"This general is so busy right now. If I fail to handle any of the tasks well, I will be beheaded."

"Now the princess's marriage has been delayed because of this general..."
